No Hub Couplings in 2016

My No Hub couplings in 2016 have get a weird halo in the connector when they are rotated.  See attached image.

 

Anybody else seeing this?

I am using 2016 as well and just tried to see if I could get the same halo you are talking about by rotating 45 degrees up.  I am not seeing the halo, what material are you using?

Cast Iron.  Material hasn’t changed.  None of the previous versions did this.

 

I am placing attacher arrow at the end of a pipe.  Using ALT and rotating attacher arrow 45 degrees and then drawing a comby or just drawing a coupling and the halos appear.

It also happens if I do a “Takeoff as cutin” and roll the comby.

Tried a couple of our configurations as well as the 2016 Autodesk config and do not see this.

 

Tried 2016 both with and without SP1.

 

Give the Autodesk's default content a try. That should isolate if it's an issue with the software/install or your content.

 

As much as I can, I try to recrease my issues w/Autodesk's content when sending them to them to eliminate the whole "it's your database" part of the equasion.

I can re-create the issue using Autodesk content.

 

To be more specific I am using the "Cut-In" option for the fitting and then using the "Fixer" command line option.  In the Fix and Rotate dialog I am checking the "Fall in degrees" box and then inputting -45 to roll the fitting.  Once fitting is placed in the drawing  the couplings come in with the halo.

 

I have narrowed it down to couplings rotated at 45 degrees.  Couplings rotated at any other angle do not produce the halo.

Almost looks like markers for collision checks.

Are you running collision detection?
